Well, you've read the notes, you've fallen asl whilst reading the notes, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - they were on their way, but then they all fell asl
-
And the word of the day is: SCARAB!
-
I am most definitely about to fall asleep, so I will say good night.
"Good night."
Today, I plan to do very little. My back has been hurting me and I haven't had much time to do nothing and let it get better. As Mame says, "It's Today!" ;D
-
I am up very late, but I shall now go to bed. Night!
-
And that would be "good night" to DR George as he is the only DR here at the moment!
-
Good Morning!
I'm up! I'm up! And now I must get back in the car for another trek up to Poughkeepsie. I will be heading back tonight, so until then...
Laters...
-
And the word of the day is: SCARAB!
Is scarab as sacred as crab?
If a scarab was made of a chocolate-like substance, would it be a carab scarab?
-
It is raining here in Rehoboth. We are going to have a busy day at work. (The two events seem to happen hand-in-hand. Next thing you know, they'll be smooching in public and causing a scandal.)
-
Scarab! That's the brooch that Ann Blyth had in an episode of The Twilight Zone that allowed her to remain YOUNG....
-
Submitted my Trivia Answer....realized this morning where I had gone wrong. What a difference a name makes!
-
DRJANE - I am so glad you enjoyed the Annette clip. It's from Thunder Alley which seems to be a sort of remake of Fireball 500....sort of. Both of these movies are featured on a Midnite Movie DVD from MGM and when you watch them both, it's like.....which movie is this again?
-
Did we note the passing of Arthur Franz (Invaders from Mars & Flight to Mars) on June 16th?

Good morning, all! I got to sleep in a bit because my niece Alison, who came by this weekend from Tennessee to see her grandfather, brought her young son Chase over to meet me. He's two and just adorable. My brother Tom called from the hospital to say that my Dad will not be released today or tomorrow: more tests to be run. The it may be the food yesterday is helping.
I've been getting from my niece because I don't email her enough, so I resolve to change that situation.
I will now go visit a bit and head for the hospital.
TOD: what was it again?
-
It's free for all day, DR ELMORE!
-
Time for shower and then to work....
Our set is being built today.....hopefully to the specs I have been working with as taped to the floor....time will tell.
-
I thought that the title of today's notes had to do with sign language when I first saw it.
-
Sunday morning greetings! Had a lovely sleep-in, 'til 8:45, saw Richard off to church and am now about to get ready for my drive to Cleveland. I'm going today for a midday meeting tomorrow at the Foundation Center. Tonight=dinner with a librarian friend at Bahama Breeze (http://www.bahamabreeze.com), which is right next to my hotel.
-
"Raining in Rehoboth." I think I shall write a song using that title.
-
I want to see THUNDER ALLEY after watching that clip. Annette never looked so enticing.
-
Good morning!
It's in the high 70s here but isn't supposed to go much beyond 82 or 83 today which should make for a beautiful June day.
The usual Sunday chores will keep me in the house for much of the day, and I also have a lineup on things I want to watch also.
-
I loved Arthur Franz in ABBOTT AND COSTELLO MEET THE INVISIBLE MAN. Sorry to read that he has left us.
-
Watching CHARLIE CHAN IN SHANGHAI the other day, I couldn't help noticing a very young Jon Hall as one of the supporting cast. But his name was nowhere in the credits. Then it dawned on me that he's billed as Charles Locher. I guess that's his real name, or was at the time.
-
Oh, my, I'm all alone in here . . . .
-
Oh, my, I'm all alone in here . . . .
No, DR MattH, I'm still here - just multi-tasking!
-
Hi, DR Cillaliz - how are you this morning?
-
Off to Ohio's North Coast.
Bye for now!
-
Just checkin' in - Hey, Bruce - I may have to push our meeting to a bit later... got family biz to attend to. Maybe 3 or 4? I'll call from the car. Oh, BOY!! I'm so itchin' to hear the songs!!! I loved that lyric you sent... see ya later, babe-a-licious!
-
It looks like I'm all by myself here... Okay, so have a good one, all who venture forth as the day marches on! elmo - I'm wit' you. Vies to all who might want 'em or need 'em...
Laters, gators!
-
Finally got to sleep till nine. Very nice. I don't believe family bizness should take precedence over hearing new BK songs, do you, PennyO? I mean, where are your priorities?
It's just The Pogue and I right now.
-
Oh, and why are we still on page one?
-
Oh, and why are we STILL on page one?
-
Oh, and why are we still on page two?
-
We've now had several correct answers for the trivia contest.
-
Okay - I'm getting in the car... I'll mosey over to the Oaks of Sherman... I'll see if BK can see me before lunch... I've moved family stuff to afternoon... off i go...
-
Back from my jog and am awaiting the arrival of PennyO. In the meantime, this will NOT do - thirty-three posts at noon? I'm afraid the bitch-slap machine is on its way out and it will be MERCILESS!
-
It looks like we've successfully placed Angie in a new home.
When I got off work yesterday, der Brucer had Angie in the car with him. The parents of a nine-year-old girl had made contact, and wanted their little girl to meet our little girl and see if they were a good match. They were indeed. Dad clearly has had experience in training dogs, and spent nearly an hour with Angie coaching her on sitting, staying, coming. He'll most likely get Daughter involved in the training as well, teaching her how to assert herself. We left Angie with her new family, feeling good about her new surroundings.
So we're back to a family of two humans and five dogs. That's not likely to last very long.
-
Good news about Angie, Woody!
-
I watched CHARLIE CHAN IN EGYPT to begin the afternoon. Stupidly, I had the right murderer and talked myself out of it before the revelation. Dumb.
-
Then I watched the documentary on the CHAN disc about the "real" Charlie Chan." I had never heard about this man and found it very informative. Glad this was included as an extra on the set.
-
Put in the last of the SUPERMAN discs which I hadn't watched, and I enjoyed several episodes including "The Girl Who Hired Superman" and "The Wedding of Superman." Didn't get to my all-time favorite color episode "Dagger Island," but it's next, and I'll watch it when I go back in the den for evening viewing.
John Eldredge (Gloria Talbot's guardian in "The Girl Who Hired Superman") has always been a favorite character actor.
-
I got the Fox Movie Channel's presentation of CONEY ISLAND when it was shown at some point this morning. I believe I watched this not too long ago, but I'll start it again probably tomorrow to see if I want to save it.
-
I also recorded ATHENA from TCM this morning (this is the Jane Powell-Debbie Reynolds musical with Steve Reeves in it.)
I have the film on laserdisc, but the laserdisc presentation is full frame, and ATHENA was letterboxed on TCM and looks much sharper than the laserdisc so I'll probably burn a DVD-R for myself of this movie.
-
On the way to clean my bathroom now and then back to some more DVDs and TV.
WBBL.
-
Are we on our way to a new all-time low? At this rate, we certainly are.
Had a nice visit with PennyO, gave her my two cents about her upcoming interview, and then played her the four songs, which she seemed to like - the final one, the ballad that I had so much trouble with, moved her to tears, so that was nice. We then had a nice lunch.
-
Greetings from Cleveland, OH! The drive up here seemed to take for-evah - lots of traffic and construction zones.
At least I had a good audio book: Martha Grimes' Foul Matter narrated by Stephen Hoye. It's a thriller set in the NY publishing world and the literary discourses between the hit men are hysterical.
-
DR SWW - any photos of Angie with her new humans?
-
Sorry, no pics.
-
It's very warm in the business center here in this hotel - I'm going to meet my friend for dinner soon.
Bye for now!
-
Where has this day gone?
-
There is one problem with our having placed Angie in a new home...
Fletcher misses her.
Sure, he was getting pretty tired of her constant pesting to play. There's only so often a fellow wants his tail pulled or leg gnawed on.
All the same, he's acting mopey today.
He hasn't even bothered to knock over the kitchen trash can.
:'(
-
I thought that the title of today's notes had to do with sign language when I first saw it.
So did I Micheal!!
-
Only about twenty copies left of the signed Deceit DVDs - order now or forever hold your peace or your piece or your peas.
-
I'm afraid we're going to need a few frenzies.
-
Bitch-slapping a'comin'
-
We're still on page TWO for God's sake.
-
We're not even NEAR page three, and even if we were, that would STILL be unacceptable.
-
But I really don't have anything to write right now. :P
-
Will let a few know that there are 20 left....
Hmm, Maybe I can talk Stephanie into buying aanother copy....
-
Working on the trivia questions... Man, am I rusty...
-
HI all! DR Ginny, didn't mean to not respond this morning. As soon as I logged on I heard the most god awful noise outside - it was my handyman grinding the stumps left from the bushes he took out last week. So, I ran outside to see what was up. It was great, except I decided to take more bushes out, so I may have to pay to rent the stump grinder again after he's got the rest of the bushes removed. He also hauled a ton of boxes I had in the garage from moving to the recycle bin.
That got me off on a cleaning frenzy. I have been working on the house all day. It's great to have this energy. I still have a couple things to do, then I'll set up Bootsie's room - I decided to give her the guest room instead of putting her in the basement. Callie used to like that room, but hasn't gone in there in ages. It's actually the room where she can do the least damage.
-
Beautiful day here - 78 degrees and sunny. Apparently it's rained around the area, but not here.
-
Ah, page 3.
-
A frenzy was requested and a frenzy I shall have
-
I had a footlong chili dog for lunch. Chili dogs in Sioux City don't have beans in the chili. I had never heard of a beanless chili dog before....how do they make them elsewhere?
-
Hi MBarnum! Did you come to join my frenzy?
-
let's see, what else do I know....I hate that commercial that says "Head On, apply directly to your head. Head On, apply directly to your head. Head On, apply directly to your head" It gives me a headache
-
The news just said that knitters hold the answers to the brain or the universe itself...who wouldn't thunk it
-
I met Paul for coffee this afternoon and brought home a Bistro Steak Salad from Panera for dinner. I'm thinking about eating it soon.
-
Is there anything on TV tonight? I certainly can't find anything I want to watch. That's a good thing, I still have chores to do and photos to download
-
Boy, I'm trying to frenzy, but It's getting difficult to think of something to say
-
Well, that's about all the frenzying I can do for now. Laters
-
Now it's time for a TPunk frenzy. We could reach page four by five. Or is it five by four.
-
I don't know about a frenzy, but I can report on the day's events!
-
I marched for the first time in the Manhattan Pride parade. GMHC led the parade this year with other HIV/AIDS service organizations in honor of th 25th anniversary of AIDS.
-
The weather today was not parade friendly. We met up at about 11:15 to get ready for the parade's 12:00 start time. It had been overcast all morning and then started to drizzle lightly at about 11:45. Then right before noon, the rain started coming down harder. I don't think it lasted for more than a half hour, but I think it affected the number of folks who came to watch. The parade started up at 53rd Street, but there wasn't a consistent crowd of people until we got under 30th.
-
All in all, it was a great experience. Lots of cheering and positive energy coming from the crowds. I only saw one protestor standing in front of the main library. He was holding some sign about homosexuals not being condoned by the bible or some such nonsense. There was a policeman standing next to him, probably to ensure that he was not harrassed by the more tolerant folks surrounding him.
-
DRTPUNK - what was the best costume you saw at the parade? And who had on the least?
-
Highlights for me were seeing how many families with children- all kinds of families- were in the crowds cheering and supporting the parade. I also felt warmed by the groups stationed in front of churches who were passing out cups of water to the parade participants.
-
Ordered the FLOATING WEEDS Criterion 2-disk set. Have never gone wrong with MR BK's recommendations....and this one seemed to appeal to me the most story-wise...even with the caveat in the notes today.
I thought it would be MOST interesting to see the same story in silent and sound/color versions made by the SAME director.
-
Many correct answers?
I will rely on the Electronic Hat to be merciful!
MR BK...what is the title of the song that moved DR PENNYO to tears?
-
Howdy, gang! I'm at the marina, stealing away for time to write... I had a grand time pickin' Uncle Bruce's brain (the title of my next sci-fi movie...) before heading off to my interview on Tuesday. As usual, he hadmuch info and advice. He played me The Songs - now I have re-writing to do to accommodate them - you will love these songs. They are so right. Some laugh-out-loud stuff, some toe-tappin' hum-along stuff, some grab yer ol' heart and give it a squeeze stuff. yes, I admit it - I was moved to tears by the Ballad - way too close to home. He does know me too well.
So, then we had a bite - he had breakfast, I had salad -- AND I never got the story I was promised - forgot all about it in the frenzy of ideas for shows we both know and love and wanna do.
So, Professor, I'll expect the details along with the lyrics in a soon-to-be-delivered e-missive... I did go back and read the notes. Oh, the intrigue...
-
I think the title of said song was "When Is It My Turn?" ... something like that...
-
DR RODZINSKI....I agree about Miss Annette in THUNDER ALLEY, she was never more "mature" or lovely....finally away from being a "youngster" or juvenile lead. She and Fabian were always more my favorite couple than Annie and Frankie...and the Fabe looks great here, too.
It's on a MIDNIGHT MOVIE dvd with FIREBALL 500....worth a rent or a used buy!
-
Burning some nice new incense I bought called Light Force....someone bought a pack today and I had never noticed it before. Very nice....
-
DRTPUNK - what was the best costume you saw at the parade? And who had on the least?
Because we were in the parade, I didn't get to see much of the other participants. When we were getting organized pre-start time, I did see a man covered from head to toe in bright gold glitter with a gorgeous feathered headress.
As for least dressed... there were two middle aged women who attached themselves to the end of the GMHC section. They both had enormous, um, assets and were shimmying to their hearts' delight. One woman had a very low cut tank top with her bra showing. The other actually pulled her tank top completely down and tucked it under so that her girls were out on full display. The first time I saw her I thought it was a costume, but nope, they were real.
-

Oh, my....makes me blink to imagine it. :'(
-
Okay - back to the matter at hand. More laters, gators.

I am sort of sorry I asked. :P
-
Yeah - that song goes in where "I'm Always Chasing Rainbows" was holding its place... bye.
-
After the parade my friend and I had brunch at a Mexican restaurant- we were starving as neither of us had had much to eat earlier in the day. Then we joined some friends of hers at another mexican restaurant for drinks.
-
I am sort of sorry I asked. :P
I'm not- I needed to get it off my chest. Ug, no pun intended.
-
Woo hoo! Page 4 Dance! In honor of my earlier post, it's a bare chested shimmy :)
-
When I got home I had a long anticipated chat with a very good girlfriend of mine who is currently in California interning with the DA's office. She's working in the gangs unit and it sounds pretty intense.
-
*Hides eyes*
-
I ate two chicken soft tacos tonight..... Mexican seems to be the food of the day.
Blue the Malamute shared them with me and ger eyes were glowing. My guess is she never had a taco before....soft OR hard....chicken OR steak.
-
Well at least we are on page 4!
-
I gotta run. But here are a few posts before I go.
-
I don't think there is anything on tv tonight. But i still have a few things on tape, including Canada's Next Top Model (a knock off of America't next top model).
-
Hi DRJENNIFER
-
Danny Kayes in UP IN ARMS is on TCM....funny movie, DR CILLA LIZ. Followed by LOTS of Bob Hope movies....
-
I used to hang out with this friend quite often, but two years ago she moved to Boston to start law school. Since then, with my crazy school and internship schedule and her study schedule, we haven't gotten to talk or see eachother very often.
-
Well at least we are on page 4!
Hopefully BK can stow the bitch-slapping maching safely away for now.
-
DR TPunk thanks for the description of the parade. It sounds like you had a really nice time.
-
Taking a page from the books of our famous HHW Photographers, yesterday I looked out the front door, and this is what I saw near my driveway. ;D
-
I also enjoyed the details about DR PennyO's visit with BK. I love it when two people on the board meet and they each describe the encounter on this board!
-
DRTPUNK - I love connecting with friends and finding out what's what!
Set for DEATH BY CHOCOLATE was supposed to go up today at 1 pm. No one emailed me otherwise. I shall know when I get there for rehearsal tomorrow.
Fingers crossed that I see Meadowbrook Health Resort!

RASHOMON! 8)

I did not do too much today. I got out of bed at 9something but was still very tired. I waited around until my sis came over to get little megan's booster seat so she could take it to a restaurant. Then I went to the store. Then the little megan came over to bring back her seat.
While here she played and went outside and had a swing.
And we started planning her first birthday party (in mid septemter)!
-
Hi DR JRand!
-
And hi DRs Cillaliz and TPunk. Although i will probably have logged off by the time you both read this.
-
For those here who watched TREASURE HUNTERS last week it is on again tomorrow. But i think (according to nbc.com) that the first hour is from last week and the 2nd hour (from 9pm-10pm) is new.
Since last week was 2 hours does anybody know what they will show from 8pm-9pm. Will it simply by the 2nd hour from last week?
-
Well I think I have done my part!
-
I sometimes see a little rabbit on my driveway too. But i think there is only one, since it seems so odd to see a rabbit in the suburbs!
-
I forgot to mention, but yesterday for the bbq i made my 7 layer dip. Well yesterday it was only a 6 layer dip. But hopefully nobody noticed!
It is fascinating to see what foods go fast.
Yesterday the chicken wings went like crazy in minutes.
And these eggrolls got finished before i could even try one.
And for some reason everyone wanted nachos instead of potato chips (or bbq ones).
Everyone left early (6pm or 7pm from 1:30pm). So my sis called my parents and invited them over (i was still there) to eat up the food that was left!
-
Hi Jennifer.
What do you put in your 7 layer dip- I wonder if they are the same ingredients I use in mine.
-
I have been in a couple of plays with a 7 layer dip or two.
-
off to eat.....yes I know I already had two tacos, thank you.
-
I have been in a couple of plays with a 7 layer dip or two.
And these plays had a cast of eight or more, right?
-
Sunday morning greetings! Had a lovely sleep-in, 'til 8:45, saw Richard off to church and am now about to get ready for my drive to Cleveland. I'm going today for a midday meeting tomorrow at the Foundation Center. Tonight=dinner with a librarian friend at Bahama Breeze (http://www.bahamabreeze.com), which is right next to my hotel.
Never heard of this chain before. But it does sound interesting. The recipe section of the site is really interesting - I think I'd like to try the Creamed Spinach with Coconut Milk (http://www.bahamabreeze.com/recipes/appetizers/creamed_spinach.asp), but I'd have to reduce it some for der B and me, since it's written to serve eight and the dogs (supposedly) don't like spinach.
-
On tonight's menu: London Broil steak, marinated in wine and soy sauce and Tabasco, but don't tell der B, then rubbed with chili powder and cocoa powder...
Yes, cocoa powder. It's something I put in my chile all the time, lends an interesting contrast and depth to the flavor, and I tried it on a steak a few weeks ago and it worked.
-
Along with the steak, there'll be baked taters and wilted spinach and onions. I'm loading the taters with butter, sour cream, crumbled bacon, cheese...
All the calories will bake out, of course. ::)
-
Oooh, page five!!!
I propose a danse!!!
How about the Spanish Panic!!!
-
Yes, the ballad is called When Is It My Time. The other songs are A Little Trouper (those who've seen PennyO's show will know what these are), The Food Song (Jews Eat Food), Living In New York, and the ballad.
-
Good evening! I'm back from another day of hospital sitting. My brother's idea about the fish was genius: he showed up around 12:30 with a container of fish baked in lemon and butter, macaroni and cheese, and banana cream pie! After my dad's regular hospital diet of rice, apple sauce, and milk, this perked hiom right up. He ate quite well today, so that's a positive sign. I think he'll be released early in the week. My sister-in-law Donna also got him hooked today on peanut butter and banana sandwiches.
All in all, the best day this week. Thanks for the vibes!
-
DR Elmore, glad to hear it was a good day.
-
Back from dinner at Bahama Breeze, where I had a wonderful salmon tostada. Kris and I both ordered key lime pie for dessert and agreed we should have ordered one piece to share. I brought half of mine back and may eat some more of it later.
I may not be able to stay long, because others are waiting to use the computers here.
Good news, DR Elmore!
-
DR Cillaliz - sounds like you've had a very productive day around your house.
Think I'll go up to my room and read for a while.
'night!

Der Brucer is watching a Miss Marple mystery, called "By the Pricking Of My Thumbs." Unfortunately, it isn't really a Miss Marple mystery, it's a Tommy and Tuppence, and Marple has been superimposed upon the work. Merde.
-
DR RODZINSKI....I agree about Miss Annette in THUNDER ALLEY, she was never more "mature" or lovely....finally away from being a "youngster" or juvenile lead.
She also has a sexy kind of gravitas in that scene. Cool, half-distracted. For a moment you think she's going to light up a smoke, but no, she's just casually filling a cigarette container while she sings.
-
SWoody, is a london broil just a certain cut of steak or what?
-
Today I organized the records a bit, then I watched the BK recommended BLACK NARCISSUS on Turner. Great film. I had only seen a piece of it before.
-
TPunk, I looked for you when GMHC was between 17th and 16th Streets but I think you were on the East side of Fifth Avenue. I was on the West Side. There was a big group with GMHC so it was hard to spot you. Glad you had a good time marching. The parade got down to us around 1pm and I watched for about an hour. I saw Mayor Bloomberg and Hillary Clinton and Christine Quinn (our City Council Speaker) and Charles Schumer, our other Senator and Anthony Wiener, a NY congressman. As TP said, the ASOs (AIDS Service Organizations) were in the front of the march this year so I saw them all.
I was around for the 2pm Moment of Silence and then I went back home to finalize plans for the late afternoon/evening.
I went uptown and saw (with friends) A Prairie Home Companion. I found it sweet, low-key, charming and everything I was hoping/expecting. I do think if you're not a fan of the show or if you don't know the show at all the movie might seem a bit precious or unfocused but I really, really enjoyed it. I'm not a big Woody Harrelson fan but he was perfect as Dusty (or Lefty, I forget which one he played) and the Guy Noir segments on the radio show are not my favorite but the way they worked him into the plot were quite good. I did miss the News from Lake Wobegone (based on the city of Anoka, MN where GK grew up for those of you wondering) but it would not have worked to have that segment in the movie. It was GREAT to see Mickey's Diner in all it's little glory. Many a late night was spent there after a performance at the Chimera Theatre just up the road a piece. Great chili and pancakes (not together) and milk shakes!
We then had dinner at the Hell's Kitchen location of Chelsea Grill, a favorite restaurant of Ant's and mine down in our neighborhood. I had the deliciously bad bacon wrapped meatloaf with smashed potatoes and spinach. Umm! The three of us then shared a Chocolate Bomb, a souffle with a piece of banana in the middle, drizzled with chocolate sauce and topped with vanilla ice cream! It was all a post-Birthday celebration for my friend so it was a great way to top off the evening.
It's now 10:15 and I have to go to work tomorrow morning. Adieu all until around 7am.
-
I also watched some World Cup soccer today. Most interesting fact: There is a Dutch player whose first name is Jan and his last name, the entirety of which somehow fits on the back of his jersey, is: "Vennegoor of Hesselink."
-
BK:
I got a bounce back from an email with some other photos. Are you still missing the Adam on the bed photo?
-
And these plays had a cast of eight or more, right?
At least! ;D
And good news about Angie. ;D
-
I felt the same way about Prairie Home Companion, Ben, excepting the memories of Minnesota, which is a state I have not been to. My one thought though is for people unfamiliar with the radio show, they might come out thinking that the show was almost entirely music-based. But, I'm sure they shot other stuff and just went with what worked best.
TPunk and I went out for Indian a little bit ago, now she's sleeping.
-
She also has a sexy kind of gravitas in that scene. Cool, half-distracted. For a moment you think she's going to light up a smoke, but no, she's just casually filling a cigarette container while she sings.
Exactly...and the jazzy arrangement is the opposite of the pop stuff she usually sang. Of course she would NEVER light up on screen - and anyway I think those are L & M's and Annette's choice of ciggies happens to be LARK....still smokes 'em....against her doctors' orders.
And when she used to be out and people expressed shock that America's darling was smoking she used to say: "I also have three children, so guess what else I do?" :o
-
I also felt the same way about PHC. I haven't been to Mikey's Diner or The Fitzgerald (something I'm planning to remedy) but I have seen PHC live and am a loyal fan, so it was great fun to see the movie. I've been listening to the sound track a lot.
-
Shayne, I have the Adam on the bed photo. I might ask you to put them on a CD at the highest possible resolution. And can someone please do the two partridge family episodes from the season two box. And maybe the Happy Days episodes, if they're out.
-
Mr BK - a little bird tells me that Mr Adam Long (not the one on the bed) will be around all day tomorrow and can lunch or whatever. You should be getting a phone message directly.
Hope your people and Adam's people can arrange a meet and greet.
-
I don't have the Partridge Family DVD. :(
-
All caught up and pleased as Punch to hear the good news about Elmore's dad.

Oh my just bought a lovely SCENE still of Miss Carroll Baker in HARLOW as she and Mr Leslie Nielson fight on the bed in his Super-Producer Bedroom...have a couple of b/w stills of the scene, and the lobby card, but this is a great still!

Good fish news from DRELMORE
-
Yesterday I went to nmy brother's house for the last ever party before they move to Ohio...The Vixter had many quality hours with her favorite cousin (the one the same age as she) and my brothers and I laughed over old photo albums...and I played American Girl dolls with my youngest niece for an hour or so.
A very bitterweet day.
It was supposed to be a barbeque pool party but unfortunately the weather refused to cooperate rain and thunderstorms all day and night
-
Elmore, when your brother brought your dad his lunch did your dad ask, "What is it? Fish?" ?
-
Exactly...and the jazzy arrangement is the opposite of the pop stuff she usually sang. Of course she would NEVER light up on screen - and anyway I think those are L & M's and Annette's choice of ciggies happens to be LARK....still smokes 'em....against her doctors' orders.
And when she used to be out and people expressed shock that America's darling was smoking she used to say: "I also have three children, so guess what else I do?" :o
What?
-
I also watched some World Cup soccer today. Most interesting fact: There is a Dutch player whose first name is Jan and his last name, the entirety of which somehow fits on the back of his jersey, is: "Vennegoor of Hesselink."
Kind of sounds like a character name from CALL ME MADAM.
-
She said "guess" - so I will leave it to your imagination.
However when Connie Stevens said to her in BACK TO THE BEACH...."You're a nice girl....what a waste of a nice set of hooters."
Annette replied: "They haven't been wasted."
-
Sounds like a fun party, DR VIXMOM.

Page Six Carroll Baker on James Dean Stamp Day Dance. ;D
-
I'm reading today's posts backwards. It's just like MERRILLY WE ROLL ALONG, except without songs.

I had forgotten that the Carroll Baker character had a crush on Jed Rink.

I hope you'll not be heartbroken when you get to the end (beginning), and see all the potential and promise that was wasted.

Speaking of Mr. James Dean, TPunk won a book at some function the other day and gave it to me: "Live Fast, Die Young, the Wild Ride of Making Rebel Without a Cause." Anyone read this? Is it worthwhile? Published in 2005.
-
Today I went to Costco with DR WFO and his Joe. They are not members andwer quite impressed with all the bargains.
When we got to the DVD section we found the Charlie Chan Collection for $36.95 and collections of movies by Mae West , Clark Gable, Betty Grable ... no Bollywood movies though (we checked!)
-
I had forgotten that the Carroll Baker character had a crush on Jed Rink.
Oh yes she did....and of course Carroll (Luz II) and Jimmy (Jett) knew each other back in New York before they both became movie stars....
She writes lovingly of him in her autobiography. :'(

JRand- Is that Adam Long the fellow we once saw singing as Elvis in the World of Wisdom bookstore?
-
My mom will drive 20 miles out of her way to Costco to fill up her gas tank.

Haven't read it....didn't even know it existed! A chronicle of the dysfunctional rabble that made REBEL should be interesting.
You knew of course, that the Mansion in the swimming pool sequence was the same one used in Sunset Blvd? 8)
-

LOL...no that was my nephew C.J. who has a band and a whole LOT of hair. Adam is another musician friend of mine. ;D
-
let's see, what else do I know....I hate that commercial that says "Head On, apply directly to your head. Head On, apply directly to your head. Head On, apply directly to your head" It gives me a headache
LOL, DR Cillaliz! I was going to mention that one, too! And what's it for, anyway? A topical headache remedy? Or a roll-on applicator to get rid of unibrow?
Head On, apply directly to your head.
Head On, apply directly to your head.
Head On, apply directly to your head.
Got to admit, it's kind of catchy.
-
Beats the Head On - Head Off campaign they rejected.
-

The ones on Long Island (well at least the 3 I frequent) do not have gas stations.
Bu they do have WONDERFUL spit roasted chicken. I picked one up for dinner and WFO and Jee thought they might try one as well. Just as we were finishing our dinner I received a phone call from WFO,"What a great chicken!"
-
Reminds me of the Monkees movie HEAD.
Supposedly, they titled it that so if there was a sequel the ads could say, "From the people who gave you HEAD..."
-
Beats the Head On - Head Off campaign they rejected.
Stop it! I am waking up the house with my laughing! ;D
-
I have never heard of "Head on"
-
Didn't know that, JRand—about the mansion, that is.
-
Annette Funicello was in HEAD.
-

Then you better read the book.... ;D

LP cover of the night...
This cover itself is not so interesting, but the record is. This guy put out several albums where he wrote songs for different women's names. All the covers look like this, only the names change. The songs are all unique; that is to say he did not merely insert different women's names into the same music. This particular LP contains an oddity: A song called "World Peace."

It appears to be a migraine remedy... not Rodzinski's first choice perhaps, but could be handy in a pinch

Which is what he was wishing for when all his girlfriends found out about each other!
-

Yes. Makes a nice double bill with Frankie Avalon in SKIDOO.
-
I am intrigued once more by a RODZINSKI LP.

And if you look closely, you can still see William Holden floating in the center of the pool.
But seriously, the Gay and Lesbian book club (Insight Out Book Club) has highly recommended the book for the past several months.
-
Gay and Lesbian Book Club? What next? They'll be wanting the vote!
-
Seems Gordon Thomas is still alive, and someone has made a movie about him. Check out gordonthomas.com
He's 90 years old if that site is current.
-
Oh yes she did....and of course Carroll (Luz II) and Jimmy (Jett) knew each other back in New York before they both became movie stars....

Of course she wrote lovingly of James Dean. He was the only guy in all of New York who didn't hit on her.
-
They'll have to hit him over the head with a mallet.

LOL...well there is THAT! :P

I thought you wrote, "hit him over the head with a mullet."
-
That wouldn't help his achy breaky heart.
-
How are you feeling today TCB? I have been thinking about you. wHave the "kids" been around lately?
-
Well I guess I should go make my light cue sheet for DEATH BY CHOCOLATE.....
-
and I had better get to bed... 6 Am is only 6 1/2 hours away....
goodnight all
Vibeage to all what needs it!

I took a little nap late this afternoon, and I wished I hadn't when I woke up. It left me feeling very weak. Thankfully, as I moved around and got the bathroom cleaned, I started feeling much better, but for awhile there I was really afraid I had come down with something.
-
I finished the SUPERMAN boxed set early this evening. The episodes were better than I remembered them during these seasons, and while the transfers were of variable quality on many of the shows, all were never less than watchable, and I'm thrilled to have them.
-
Next, I watched COLD CASE. This was one of the episodes from earlier in the year which I had missed due to sports runovers, so it was brand new to me: a very melancholy remembrance of a sour marriage.
-
DEADWOOD had a terrific episode which introduced Brian Cox playing an actor who has come to town with his acting company. The inference is that he's gay (which should add another level of interest to an already fascinating array of characters).
Oh, the battlelines in this show continue to shift in such intriguing ways. Really love this show.

The commercial shows a woman applying something in stick form to her forehead. A voice says Head On, Apply directly to your head three times.. That's the whole commercial
-
ENTOURAGE introduced a new character to its story tonight as well, an ex-con who once ran with the boys back in Jersey. Should make for plenty of fireworks in upcoming weeks.
-
I burned my DVD-R of ATHENA which means I doubt I'll ever watch the laserdisc again. ATHENA was filmed in EastmanColor which means it isn't exactly vibrant, but the laserdisc wasn't any more colorful, and with the sharpness issues I mentioned this morning, makes me glad I decided to record this this morning.
-
Spet the last 15 minutes of prime time viewing revisiting THE GENERAL'S DAUGHTER. I didn't remember the opening action sequence at all, but, given that it's been three or four years since I watched this, I guess it's not surprising I didn't remember it.
The DVD transfer from Paramouont is really a thing of beauty.
-
Glad to read your dad had a good couple of days, DR Elmore. Hope the good news continues.
-
I am very tired tonight.
-
Back from a lovely weekend in Washington DC. Saw and absolutely adored the Kennedy center production of MAME twice, and a stunning production of ASSASSINS at the Signature Theater in nearby Arlington VA. The Doubletree Hotel was most enjoyable, but alas, no business center, so just coming out of the longest internet-deprived periods I've had in a long time.
-
Carroll Baker is still quite beautiful in that photograph ..
Sadly, James Dean died far too young.
-
I'm heading off for bed now.
Good night!
-
When it is 10:00 PM and still 87 degrees outside it makes one wish that he hadn't gotten rid of the air conditioner.

It is 56 here.... Send hot weather!!!
-
It is rather quiet here tonight.....
-
so quiet you can hear the church mouse go squeak, squeak..
-
This afternoon I went to church camp, and this is what I saw:
-
It is a work camp. Here are some folks setting out traps to trap the non-native invasive crawdads that are taking over the stream.
-
squeak, squeak!!
-
Nice pictures, DR Laura... I hope the project is successful in capturing the non-native crawdads.
-
Here is a crawdad:
-
Mmmm. Mmmmm. Crawdads.
-
While we were there, there was a thundershower. The good news was the sprinkles. The bad news was the scout planes were looking for wildfires sparked by the lightening:
-
And here is the wildfire that is about 2 miles from our campsite.
-
And that's what I've been doing today.

I went to Costco today. It was the only time I left my house. My back has been hurting me for the last week and a half and I've been taking acetaminophen but it hasn't done anything for me. I finally bought and took some ibuprofen and, even though I'm not instantly back to normal, I'm feeling a lot better than I have all week from the acetaminophen.
I also bought the two-DVD pack of "Valley of the Dolls" and "Beyond the Valley of the Dolls." I'm almost ashamed to admit that I've never seen either of these movies, and now I own them. :)
Otherwise, I did nothing else but watch TV ... "Last Comic Standing," the first episode of the now cancelled "Out of Practice," and episode of "Lovespring International" (The improvised comedy series revolves around the wacky goings-on at an elite matchmaking service in Tarzana, California). This is pretty funny.
